Aug. 8. Whereas the king by divers letters patent lately granted to Bobert de
Henley. Eildesby the prebend of Southcave, in the church of St. Peter, York as
void by the death of cardinal Neapoleon and in his gift by reason of
voidanc^ of the archbishopric of York, and afterwards learning that the
cardinal was alive at the time of the grant but had since died revoked the
first grant and on 8 April, in his sixteenth year, collated the prebend then
actually void and in his gift by reason of the archbishopric being then also
in his hands to Master Paul de Monte Florum, the said Robert without his
knowledge and against his will surreptitiously caused the letters patent of his
collation to the prebend to be renewed under a new date after the cardinal's
death, subsequent to the date of the said revocation and collation of the
prebend to Master Paul, of which the said Robert was not ignorant, on hearing
of which the king was greatly disturbed insisting on the removal of Robert
from the prebend as the chancellor could not renew letters patent without
his order. But the said Robert is now dead and the king considering that
the collation to Master Paul never took effect and as the prebend is still
in his gift has collated the same to Henry de Ingelby, king's clerk, and on
his prosecuting before the justices of the Bench for a declaration of the
king's right herein, there were produced there, as is said, letters patent
under the king's seal, dated 80 May, in the twenty-second year, reciting
among other things that the king had collated the prebend, void by the

death of the cardinal in the time when the archbishopric was void, to the
said Robert, and that he by virtue of such collation had been canonically
admitted to and was in possession of the prebend and so the king ratified
his estate therein, by pretext whereof the justices deferred rendering
judgement for the king; in the interests of truth the king wills that
it be publicly known that the letters of renewal as well as the letters of
confirmation were surreptitiously obtained because it was never his
intention to recite that the said Robert was canonically admitted to the
prebend by virtue of the king's collation or to approve his title, although
perhaps, at the request of some, he consented to tolerate his holding the
prebend in his time ; and so the king declares those letters of renewal
and ratification were made against his will and are entirely without force
and useless. By K. & C.

order, in the diocese of York, father abbot of the monastery of Torre,
refused to confirm his election and appointed one John called ' Gras,'
then canon of the monastery of Torre, to be abbot, and afterwards on the
death of the said John, while the appeal was pending in the court of
Rome, of his own accord ceded to the pope all the right which he had
in respect of his election as abbot, and has been appointed by the
pope, after admitting the cession, as abbot of Torre, as by the pope's bull
to the king appears, for which cause he has made petition to the king

follows : —
Robert, bishop of Salisbury, to Sir Walter Scarlet, warden, and the

God and St. Katharine the Virgin in the said church. Their
petition has been exhibited before him containing that William,
bishop of \Vinchester, lately ordained that the said chantry should
be made for ever and endowed it at his own charges for three
chaplains, and there are not as yet fit servers appointed therein
because there is nothing to sustain them, and the expenses thereof
would be an insupportable load for the petitioners, whose rents
and profits are not equal to it, and praying the bishop to sanction
the union of the vicarage of the church to the church, and he,
after calling together all persons interested, and causing diligent
enquiry to be made, with the said bishop, the chapter of the church
of Salisbury, Sir John de Edyndon, prebendary and rector of the
said prebendal church, and all others interested, decrees that the
union be made in the manner specified in the roll. In witness

Lichefeld, clerk, on 4 July in his twenty-fourth year granted to them the
keeping of such temporalities so long as they should remain in his hands ;
supplication has now been made to the king on behalf of the bishop that
whereas another sum of 200 marks is required of him by summons of the
exchequer of a fine which it is pretended that he made before William de
Thorpe and his fellows, late justices of the King's Bench, for a contempt
in the non-admission of a king's clerk presented by the king to the church
of Suthill, as shewn in the estreats of the said justices sent before the
treasurer and barons of the exchequer and a certificate by these last sent
into the chancery by the king's mandate, the king will remedy this, and,
as it is plain that these two fines are one and the same fine, the king
acquits him of the fine pretended to be made before the said justices.
